Islington - SC3 Health Impact Assessment

Policy information sourced from the Islington Local Plan

SC3 Health Impact Assessment

The Council will require all major developments, and developments where potential health issues are likely to arise, to complete a screening assessment as early as possible in the development process, to determine whether a full Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is required.
Where the screening assessment identifies that a full HIA is required, this must be prepared as early as possible in the development process so that potential health gains can be maximised and any negative impacts can be mitigated. HIAs, where required, should be submitted at the planning application stage and must be proportionate to the scale of the development.
The scope of any HIA must be agreed with the Council’s Public Health department, and must be informed by relevant Council guidance.
Where a HIA is carried out and specific measures are identified to mitigate health impact or enhance health benefits, they will be secured through a legal agreement and/or condition as appropriate.
